spots entirely across the wing, and parallel to the margin ; a discal row 

 of smaller spots in a curve from costa to lower median interspace, the 

 next spot below out of and behind the line ; on the arc a thick bar. 

 Secondaries have an oblong, rounded, fuscous spot at the end of each 

 nervule, but otherwise the edge is white ; a submarginal series of metallic 

 points, each of which is overlaid by orange, and above this a black 

 crescent ; a discal series of black points, following the costal margin from 

 base, and running parallel with hind margin to lower median interspace, 

 after which there are two spots back of the line ; on arc a streak, a dot 

 nearer base, and another below cell. 



Body above blue, beneath white ; legs white ; palpi white with many 

 black hairs in front ; antennae annulated black and white. 



Female. — Expands i.i inch. 



Upper side fuscous, bluish over basal areas of each wing, and on 

 secondaries, over the inner half the wing ; secondaries have a marginal 

 series of large rounded blackish spots, faint towards outer angle, each 

 with a little fulvous on upper side. Under side pale fawn-color ; marked 

 as in the male, but all spots more conspicuous ; and in addition, on pri- 

 maries, the spots which in the male form the submarginal row, and stand 

 alone, here are the crescents which overlie orange spots, and between 

 these last and the margin is a series of black points. From i ^ , i ^

LIST OF THE SPECIES OF TRIPUDIA AND GYROS. 



BY A. R. GROTE, A. M. 



I have described the genus Tripudia in the Can. Ent., but the char- 

 acters are not obvious until we know the neuration, which I am satisfied 

 will give us distinguishing features from Eustrotia and Thalpochares. Com- 

 pared with these the front is narrow and a little bulging ; the vestiture is 

 scaly, and there is a ridge of scales on the occiput. The lashless naked 

 eyes, the slender unarmed tibiae agree with its allies. The wings are 

 entire and there is a velvety band on the primaries, not legible, however, 

 in two minute, pyralidiform species which may not be differen;, my
